BOQ Business Term Loan

Related Products

Expand your business or keep it running with the BOQ Business Term Loan, which offers flexible repayment options and a maximum loan term of 25 year(s).

BOQ’s Business Term Loan is a flexible loan product that allows business owners to secure funds with residential or commercial property assets. It’s the only product in BOQ’s Business Loan portfolio that allows weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments and that offers fixed and variable interest rates. While you make principal and interest repayments, you also have the option to make interest-only repayments for a maximum of five years.

How does the BOQ Business Term Loan work?

This loan can be used for any business-related purpose, from purchasing equipment to investing in property. The minimum borrowing amount is $10,000 and while you don’t have ATM access to funds, you can manage the loan through Internet banking.

Once your application is approved, you will be charged an establishment fee for setting up the loan. Following that, a monthly administration fee applies. Additional repayments are allowed and a redraw facility is available for variable interest rate loans.

Features of the BOQ Business Term Loan

Here are some of the features you can expect from the Business Term Loan.

Security. Residential and non-residential property can be used as security for this loan. BOQ will lend 80% of residential property value and 70% of commercial property value.

Loan amount. You can borrow from a minimum of $10,000.

Fixed rate. You can make fixed-rate repayments for up to a maximum of five years.

Loan terms. The minimum loan period is 1 year(s). Loans secured with residential property can be repaid over a maximum of 25 year(s), but if commercial property is used as security, the maximum loan term is 15 years.

Fees. Besides the establishment and monthly fees, you are liable for certain charges if you make changes to the loan agreement, repay early or declare more than one asset as security. Take a look at the fees outlined in more detail below.

Repayments. You can make weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments. A fee applies for making additional payments that exceed the number of agreed-upon installments by $5,000.

Redraw facility. This feature is available for variable interest loans only.

How much does the loan cost?

The following fees are associated with the Business Term Loan:

Establishment fee. A fee equal to 0.75% of the loan amount will be charged for setting up the loan.

Monthly fee. An ongoing monthly fee of $20 applies.

Security fee. If you are required to declare an additional asset as security, you will be charged a fee of $150. The same fee applies if you request that an asset be released (security release fee).

Break fee. This fee is payable when you break a fixed-rate period either by settling the whole loan amount or switching loan types.

Settlement fee. A fee of $150 is charged when you finish paying off the loan.

Important information about this website

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of major banks, insurers and product issuers.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product. You should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs and seek independent advice if you have any questions.

Products marked as 'Promoted' or "Advertisement" are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options and find the best option for you.

The identification of a group of products, as 'Top' or 'Best' is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.

Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
